    Great schedule thanks tikay, i will aim to get to the rest of these if i can, as i have missed the last couple... sigh.

    Luton is a certainty though as its a very simple 2 hour, yes ONLY 2 hour journey on the train from Folkestone!:) how amazing is that!

    In Response to Re: Sky Poker Tour Dates & Venues coming to a town near you soon...... : So do we, Don, but I think you miss the point. We WANT to come to Scotland, but it's not our fault that there are no suitable Venues. Our last 2 Venues in Scotland have not given the level of Service we consider necessary. In searching around, we found a recognized Venue in Glasgow at 1st Floor Level, but it had NO disabled access. Which is not acceptable to us. There's a nice Grosvenor, too - in Aberdeen! - which is way too far north for 95% of our players. It's NOT a question of not wishing to, the Venues need to be satisfy the default criteria.

    This might be a silly question....but do you have to be a member of the casino?
    I fancy a go for the Cardiff leg and maybe the Luton one as well.

    Yes, you do need to be a member Lozgo but you can easily join for FREE on the night or day that you go. All you need is some ID like driving licence or passport to join. Simples.

    Yes you have to be a member, but that only means you have to remember to take along ID so you can join when you get there.

    Maxally (Alan),

    I think from previous chat you live in Stone, which is only 10 minutes down the road from me (Lightwood) in Stoke.

    Really want to do a SPT event in the near future but was just wondering if you and any other players who live nearby travel down together, etc.

    If so and you don't mind another coming along let me know.

    Cheers

    I've never played live & didn't manage to qualify for Luton last year (obviously, lol!) but I'm gonna have another go for Luton for this one & Cardiff ain't too bad a journey either.

    Thanks for the responce Tikay. In all honesty im glad that sky put such an effort into finding a good venue. Just a little disappointed theres nothing up here that meets that.

    Although theres a well know Casino in Edinburgh the card room is below ground admittedly, i thought may have met requirements im sure the men in the know, know more than me.

    Although, it would be nice to get something like DTD up here. Dont think we'll ever see it though.

    If Glasgow met the criteria last year, (obviously it did to be chosen as a venue), then how come it didn't this year??
    Have they regressed?

    Isn't it about time the SPT came to my back garden anyway???
